Summary
Staff received a request from Doug Lindeman (AKA Ammo Box LLC) at 556 Waterloo Street for a home
occupation. The home occupation is needed for the sale of firearms and ammunition. The sales will be online
only and inventory typically will not be stored onsite. Home occupations are allowed as conditional uses
provided they meet the 12 requirements of 114-106. Staff has included the requirements for 114-106 below.
Under 114-106 Home occupations are allowed as conditional uses in all residential districts subject to the
following:
(1) Incidental use only. The home occupation shall be incidental to the principal use of the premises
as a dwelling unit.
(2) On-site sales limited. No article is sold or offered for sale on the premises except that produced
by such occupation.
(3) Equipment. No mechanical equipment is used other than that permissible for purely domestic
purposes.
(4) Traffic. No pedestrian or vehicle traffic is generated in addition to that typical for a residential
neighborhood.
(5) Area of use. Home occupations shall be entirely contained within the interior of a residence or
located in garages or accessory structures on the site. No visible evidence of the business shall
be apparent from the street or surrounding area. Family day care homes are allowed to have an
outside play area which shall be fenced. A home occupation shall use no more than 20 percent
of the total dwelling unit floor area. Those home occupations which require occasional meetings
using more than 20 percent of the floor space may be permitted, providing such meetings do not
occur more frequently than once per month.
(6) Employees. The home occupation shall be conducted by family members residing on the
premises with no assistance from other individuals or groups.
(7) Parking. No parking in the public right-of-way shall occur as a result of this home occupation
except for occasional meetings, recitals or demonstrations, and day care pick up/drop off.
(8) Changes to exterior. The appearance of a dwelling as a residence shall not be altered in such a
way as to change its residential character. Alterations of building material, size or color; lighting
fixtures or intensity; parking area; or any other exterior change should not cause the structure to
lose its residential character nor should it detract from the residential character of the
neighborhood.
(9) Nuisance controls. A home occupation shall not create excessive noise, dust or dirt, heat, smoke,
odors, vibration and glare or bright lighting which would be over and above that normally created
by a single-family dwelling. The production, dumping or storage of combustible or toxic
substances shall not be permitted on-site. Additionally, a home occupation shall not create
interference or fluctuations of radio or television transmission.
(10) Visitation. A home occupation may attract patrons, students or any business-related individuals
only between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. A home occupation shall not generate more
than six arrivals and six departures per day by vehicles except for family day care operations
which shall not generate more than 12 arrivals and 12 departures per day by vehicles. These
standards shall not be construed to prohibit occasional group gatherings, recitals or
demonstrations. However, such gatherings shall not occur more frequently than once per month
and must be held within the specified visitation hours.
(11) Signage. Signage or other forms of advertising pertaining to the home occupation may be
placed or painted onto the exterior of the residence or in the yard of a residence. These signs
may not exceed two square feet in total area.
(12) Garage or yard sales are not classified as home occupations and are regulated under
subsection 114-98(4).
Recommendation
The applicant has indicated that they will meet the requirements under 114-106. Provided that the applicant
continues to meet the requirements under 114-106 staff would recommend approval.

Disclosure statement
The business I am applying for the permit for is only going to be on line. All of the products that will be
sold will drop ship from my vendors to the customer. The only items that will have customers visiting
the premises is possibly an occasional firearm purchase for someone local, wherein they would stop by
when it arrives and fill out the required state and federal background forms, or a firearm that needs
some sort of repair. The whole business other than that situation will be done from my laptop
computer. It’s really more of a spare time hobby type of business. I will still be working my full time
regular job and will not necessarily have posted hours of business, more of a “by appointment”
situation. Any firearms that are received for the occasional local customer will be stored properly until
said customer passes their background just like they were when this was a full on brick and mortar retail
store.
I do not see sections 3) through 10) on the application as pertinent to my situation, with no construction
or building going on or any major traffic or parking needs.
